A diverse group of influencers and media partners, known as Ka-biyaheros, embarked on an exciting adventure to explore the hidden gems of South Luzon.
Biyaheng South Experiential Tour holds great significance in showcasing the vibrant culture, history, and hidden gems of South Luzon. However, we are not only promoting the scenic spots of South Luzon but also supporting the local economies of the provinces.
“This initiative is a testament to economic innovation and sustainable tourism development, enhancing tourism through accessibility and convenience for travelers,” DOT Region IV-A Director, Marites Castro, said.
Castro said the goal is to create an environment where convenience complements the beauty and uniqueness of the destination, resulting in enjoyable, memorable, and convenient experiences for all.
“In honor of National Tourism Month, the Biyaheng South Experiential Tour shows our dedication to drive tourism and economic growth in the South. We are grateful for the continued support of the Department of Tourism (DOT) and Cavite Tourism; their partnership and shared vision have been instrumental in making this program a success,” Arlette Capistrano, MPT South’s vice president for communication and stakeholder management said.
“Together, let’s look forward to fostering sustainable tourism, contributing to the livelihood of local communities, and showcasing the treasures that lie just beyond our toll roads,” she added.
Biyaheng South is MPT South’s tourism advocacy program that has made a significant impact by promoting its toll road networks, particularly CAVITEX, its C5 Link segment, and CALAX, as gateways to the tourist destinations of Southern Luzon. The program demonstrates how infrastructure not only can improve connectivity but also can serve as a catalyst for regional economic growth through tourism promotion.
MPT South is a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC), the infrastructure arm of Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC). Aside from the CALAX and CAVITEX networks of toll roads, MPTC’s domestic portfolio includes concessions for the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), the NLEX Connector Road, the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), and the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX) in Cebu.
